How about a new thread? One that is uplifting and shows all the good out there? Try this video for example.

Please add your own examples for inspiration - staying within the bounds of our forum rules of course.

I must be doing something wrong. I can't get the video link to work.

Me either, it says buffering, but nothing is downloading. Anyway, I'm very thankful for being alive today, for the wonderful sunshine, and for the heat. No more parkas or long johns!

Looks like a problem at that website. Here is the video from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4LMBEBM1qc

I was never able to see it on the first website, but other videos play well.
Here is my favorite. He has been on the news (in our area at least) quiet a bit lately. Kids like these are something else. . Many of us could learn a thing or two about not letting things get you down.

And, I post this thought in memory of a very dear friend. It was his motto, and fit him perfectly.

“It’s not his clothes, but his heart, that makes the man.”

Your friend was no doubt a person with a deep understanding of humanity, and not one distracted by what some feel is important, but is in reality worthless. I wish I had met him.

Sent to me this morning via email: 'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

Thanks Penny! I was looking for one when you posted.

Great thread Dave!

technically, these posters are the opposite of inspirational, but they will add some humor to your day

humor inspires me to have a better day - smiles are contagious

does that count as on-topic? if not, maybe the 9th poster on that link does??

Humor is fine. I get catalogs periodically from that demotivation place. I am a huge fan of Dilbert and it is similar.

Life is...
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfil it.
Life is a sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
